Trim

[Karl G. Mueller]

Nat,

How does it behave in the down lines? If it pulls to the canopy as well
in a vertical power off downline it could be to much positive incidence.
Moving the CG back usually helps. Get yourself the "Trim-chart" from the
NSRCA website and work through it.
Could be more than one setting that's out of line. I have cured the problem
I had on my 2m Star by changing the rudder hinge line increasing the 
slant angle by 1 1/2 degrees.

  Del the plane goes to the canopy in both knife-edges. The rest of the pattern seems ok. BTW the perfect solution to this Partner business is to move in  a Chinese model builder - male or female.

    Does it pull to canopy in both left and right knife edge?

        For an airplane that goes to the canopy in knife-edge most trim charts say , after adjusting cg , to increase the wing incidence . My " theory " says to decrease the wing incidence. What is your theory/experience ?
